Culinary Association of Wales crowns Junior Chef of Wales
Abstract
The Culinary Association of Wales has crowned 22-year-old Steffan Davies as Young Junior Chef of Wales at the Welsh International Culinary Championships (WICC).

Davies, from Llandybie, South Wales, and chef at Gidleigh Park in Exeter, was named winner after the four finalists cooked a three-course meal under the supervision of a panel of judges.

Davies said: “It was a long wait for the result and the more I thought about it, the more I thought I didn’t win because the standard of the competition was really high.

“Most of the dishes went to plan and everything went out the way I wanted. The dishes produced by the other chefs looked awesome and this competition is a great promotion for Welsh produce.”

As part of the prize for winning, Davies automatically goes through to the semi-final of Young National Chef of the Year, organised by The Master Chefs of Great Britain.

The winning menu featured a starter of pan fried scallops with soy sauce, truffle, cauliflower and sorrel cream, a main course of Welsh beef fillet with shallot, celeriac, bone marrow crumb and a toffee pudding cake dessert.

The WICC’s main sponsor is Food and Drink Wales, the Welsh Assembly Government’s department. Other sponsors include Harlech Foods, Nuttals and Koppertcress.
